Study Description

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, targeting innate immune cells (mast cells and microglia) that are involved in the pathophysiology of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, comparative study of oral masitinib in the treatment of patients with progressive MS who were progressing but not clinically active.
